Sometimes the fastest way isn’t always the best way. Sometimes the best things in life take a while.

Hi all! It’s summertime, and what goes great with summertime? Reading a good book. Which is why I’m assuming there has been an upsurge of inquiries about The Great Trees Fall in the past few weeks. As you may have noticed, the book has not been released yet.

I appreciate your eagerness to know when the book will be released. As I’ve remarked numerous times before, you’ll know as soon as I do!

As I’ve grown up over the past couple of years since Skin Like Dawn, so has my responsibilities in life as an adult. Adulting things like family (had a death in my family very recently), work, graduate school, and planning my wedding have taken precedence.

That doesn’t, however, mean that I’ve forgotten about dear ol’ Brandon and Natalie, nor have I stopped writing their story. I’ve just been busy working on mine!

Again, I sincerely appreciate your patience. The day that I announce a release date will be a great day, I know. But, in the meantime, have a little faith, and enjoy another book!

I know that I've said numerous times that my book, The Great Trees Fall is on its way. I've received a number of emails from readers, wanting to know when the book will be released. Trust me when I say that I want to know the end of Brandon and Natalie's tale as much as you!

I present this photo to let you know that I'm compiling, typing, designing, typing some more, compiling some more, and designing some more [feverishly].

The hardest part of composing this whole trilogy has been ensuring that everything is cohesive. For those who have been following me from the start, they've seen my writing (and storytelling ability) evolve and mature over time.

I feel like I'm starting to ramble, so just let me finish this post by saying again: THANK YOU for sticking with me.

Dear Lovely Readers:

As you may have guessed it, my book, The Great Trees Fall (do you remember it?) won't be coming out on March 9th, as promised. To keep it short, sweet, and excuse-free, I'll release the book as I feel comfortable to do so. I sincerely thank you all for sticking with me, and hope, upon actual release, that you'll still be interested in reading.

Will it be released this year? Absolutely. But pinpointing a time and date is difficult at this time.

In the meantime, of course, read the preview linked below, and let me know what you think!

Tritely enough, a brand new year is a very exciting time, is it not? You feel a renewed sense of purpose. You may even prioritize things differently, make exciting plans, draft lists of the things you neglected to do in the previous year.

And speaking of things that I neglected to do in the preceding year, I'd like to say that the official countdown is underway.

In case you've forgotten, my book, The Great Trees Fall, will be released in March of this year. I sincerely cannot wait to share this with you, and I hope that you help me in spreading the word about it.

I know that it's chilly where you are, and you're looking for a nice book to snuggle up with.

Sound about right? I figured.

I've received a couple of messages on my Facebook page, asking me when my next book The Great Trees Fallwill be released, and if it will be released sooner than March 9th (yes, that March 9th in 2015). I would love to say that the book was ready for release now, but it isn't, and I sincerely appreciate everyone's patience as I finalize this project. Believe or not, March will be here in the blink of an eye.

Think about it this way: the holidays are here and the end of the year is right around the corner.

With that being said, I want to thank each and every one of you who've reached out to me expressing your anticipation for the next book. I'm just as excited as you are!

March 9, 2015, is still the release date for the book, and I don't expect it to change.

In the meantime, I'll be sure to post another snippet, and if you have any questions or concerns, please, do not hesitate to reach out to me. I'll try to get to your inquiry as soon as humanly possible.
